BackupGoo is among the first major cloud-to-local backup providers, duplicating data found in popular web applications and software as a service solutions to local data storage systems like fileservers, harddisks and NAS systems. The company is often associated[1][2][3][4] with the data liberation movement.
Backup for Google[edit]
BackupGoo allows the connection to a normal Google account or a complete Google Apps for Business domain and its local backup.
The connection to Google is established solely between the client and Google. The connection and authentication is accomplished using Google's preferred OAuth 2.0 authentication mechanism. Furthermore, using Google APIs and open source APIs Google data is accessed and downloaded to local storage devices. The target for download as well as the services to backup can be chosen freely. Further options allow the download of Google Drive data in different formats, tracking of meta data on Google Drive files in connection with a report as well as backing up multiple accounts in parallel.
A demo video on backing up a Google Apps account can be seen on Youtube.[5]
Backup for Salesforce[edit]
Currently in beta trial, BackupGoo allows a local backup of Salesforce data.[6]
Using Salesforces REST API,[7] BackupGoo allows a local backup of Salesforce data.
History[edit]
Founded in 2011 by Nico Güttler, Dominic Jansen and Raphael Bauer, BackupGoo initially provided backup solutions for single Google accounts. The services at first only covered Gmail but were then subsequently extended to Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Calendar and Google Contacts. BackupGoo came into being because the founders wanted to have a local copy of their Google data and no suitable application existed at that time (Eating your own dog food). BackupGoo was extended early 2012 to provide a reliable backup solution not only for personal accounts, but large enterprise customers running Google Apps. Version 5 of BackupGoo, released April 2013, features support for OAuth 2.0 authentication and much improved and faster backups.[8] In June 2013 BackupGoo announced support for Salesforce as closed beta.[9]
